Chapter 2632: Mission 18
Editor:Â Henyee Translations
Their residence was situated at a distance from the Yan family, and Auntie Lianhua typically refrained from engaging in the local gossip, occupied with her own responsibilities. However, once she learned of the situation, she promptly arrived.
With no support within the Yan family, she took it upon herself to stand by Yan Danqiu.
Yan Danqiu recognized Auntie Lianhuaâs family as genuinely kind-hearted. Few were willing to confront an Elementary Scholar for the sake of their family, and, since their fatherâs passing, Auntie Lianhuaâs family had been a source of support.
However, Yan Danqiu couldnât allow them to bear the burden and get entangled in the matter.
âAuntie Lianhua, the engagement has been called off. Letâs put this behind us. The Jiang familyâs Elementary Scholar, Jiang Changxiu, is influential and wealthy. If we seek retribution, it wonât lead to any positive outcomes. In the end, they might accuse us of hindering the Elementary Scholarâs studies,â Yan Danqiu reasoned.

âThe betrothal is canceled. Letâs focus on living well. I appreciate your kindness,â Yan Danqiu expressed.
Auntie Lianhua nodded, casting a sympathetic gaze toward Yan Danqiu.
Though sensible, Yan Danqiuâs life had been marked by bitterness, an unavoidable reality for a family in their circumstances.
âIf thereâs anything you need in the future, just let us know. Weâll assist if we can,â Auntie Lianhua conveyed before departing.
A notion crossed Gu Chaoyanâs mind.
Perhaps they might indeed require their assistance.
Without outright refusing, she mentioned, âThere might be something in the future that we may need your help with, Auntie Lianhua. However, thereâs no rush. Weâll personally come to you when the time is right.â
Although Auntie Lianhua harbored curiosity, she refrained from probing further and swiftly returned, knowing there were numerous tasks awaiting her in the countryside.
Gu Chaoyan returned after seeing her off, a mysterious smile playing on her lips. âI thought you were unsure about finding a suitable candidate for adoption? Well, I believe we now have one.â
âWho?â inquired Ms. Wang.
âAuntie Lianhuaâs family,â Gu Chaoyan replied with a grin.
Initially elated, Ms. Wang soon composed herself. âAuntie Lianhua is kind, but she already has three sons and a daughter. The youngest is five or six years old.â
In matters of adoption, families with more children typically took on the responsibility. Those with fewer offspring tended to care for their own from a young age.
Ms. Wang hadnât considered Auntie Lianhuaâs family, and now that Danqiu mentioned it, she sensed something unusual.
âItâs not a major issue. Managing newborns requires significant energy, and they wonât dare approach. Auntie Lianhuaâs family is a good fit, and both families can support each other in the future. They may not reclaim the children, but with a mother and a few elder sisters, Auntie Lianhua may need some convincing. We should discuss it with her personally,â Gu Chaoyan suggested, still smiling.

âI brought it up with Auntie Lianhua earlier, but I didnât delve into specifics. Weâll discuss it face-to-face. Itâll be more convenient for the Lotus family to manage things that way,â she continued.
âThatâs a good idea. I hadnât thought of it that way before, but now that I consider it, it seems quite fitting,â Ms. Wang mused, growing more content with the proposal.
Danxia and Dandong also expressed happiness.
Having always enjoyed playing with Tian Liu, they were thrilled about having her in their home.
âTomorrow, Iâll head to the city to sell the medicine. We can visit the Tian family when the time is right. Going now might spark gossip,â Gu Chaoyan suggested with a smile.
Simultaneously, she aimed to accrue more resources for her family during the trip.
